Cage Fighter Jarrod Wyatt meets the Devil
 
An American cage fighter recently thought his friend and training partner was possessed by the devil, and so proceeded to torture him and rip his heart out in a bizarre exorcism ritual. This unbelievable scene sounds like it belongs in a horror film, but it actually happened and it leaves a question hanging in the air. Did the fact that the murderer was a cage fighter have anything to do with it or was it simply an atrocious drug-induced crime that took place? Have there been other crimes involving cage fighters and can some sort of correlation be formed here?
 
This horrendous scene that took place recently involved an MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighter named Jarrod Wyatt. This US fighter ripped out the heart of his training partner and best friend while he was still alive. “[He] also cut out his friend's tongue and ripped off most of his face in a brutal assault. [Police] found the 26 year old standing naked over his friend's body with body parts, including an eyeball, strewn around the blood splattered room,” The reason for this horrific and very graphic incident turned out to be that the killer (and the deceased Taylor Powell) had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms, and Wyatt then thought his friend had become possessed by the devil. This is leading psychologists to wonder whether a normal average person who had ingested mushrooms, and was having a really bad trip, would have gone to the extent of ripping out their best friend’s heart. It seems unlikely, because normal people are not trained to destroy an opponent and make them submit and win fights that way. Cage fighters have the skills and have trained for many years to learn ways to break bones, throw knockout punches and kicks, and learn submission manoeuvres that make an opponent submit, ending the match. If someone with the strength and skill level of a cage fighter thought someone had become possessed by the devil, the result would perhaps be something similar to what is described above.
 
Cage fighters by nature are taught to overcome their fears and fight through them. Any normal person when confronted by what they thought was the devil would probably run and hide. But cage fighters are trained to fight and save themselves. It seems the violence of the fighting that these people have to endure is sometimes mirrored outside the ring as well. Violence is inherent in some people, and a lot of the time they release that aggression in outlets such as cage matches to relieve that pressure, but other times cage fighters become more violent when they aren’t fighting.
 
Another example of this took place last year when a violent bank robbery was planned by a cage-fighter and executed by another one. Two cage-fighters named Paul Allen and Lee Murray orchestrated and pulled off a £53 million bank heist and then fled to Morocco. The news story which highlighted this crime caper said, “This was a violent crime carried out by violent people.

They are quite clearly violent individuals who have been convicted,”. What is interesting is that the article mentions that the police chief involved in the arrest repeatedly said that this was a violent crime carried out by violent men. Another person who was implicated in the crime was a kick boxer. So we have two cage-fighters and a kick boxer; there seem to be a lot of violent sportsmen involved in the same crime. This case supports the fact that violence in the ring leads to violence outside the ring as well.
 
Hopefully the rules and regulations surrounding sports like cage fighting and kick boxing will be tightened so that less violence ensues in the ring and in turn less violent behaviour occurs outside the ring. The world cannot deal with another grisly murder scene with a person brutally ripping the heart and guts out of his best friend. Hopefully following this incident, there should be no place for the sort of violence that happens inside of a caged ring and which leads to the sort of horrific brutality and bloodshed seen outside the ring.
 
As for Wyatt, who had not even made it big in the world of MMA partly because of his noted lack of discipline, he is claiming that had he not been under the influence of the hallucinogenic drug, he would never have committed such a crime. He claims he had no control over his actions due to the ingested mushrooms. However, that sounds like a losing argument, as only an already psychologically damaged person would have taken such a disturbing course to ‘expel’ the alleged demon in best friend Taylor Powell.
